PASADENA - Andrues Faltesek was in the seventh grade the last time a Pearland High School varsity baseball team played a contest at Pasadena ISD’s Maguire Field.

But the young righthander sure made the Oilers’ first trip back to Maguire in three years a memorable one.

Faltesek was sensational on the hill, weaving a five-inning no-hitter, facing just one batter over the minimum in guiding Pearland to a 10-0 District 22-5A win Thursday night.

He wasn’t in need of much support from the offense, but it generated 11 hits, five of which went for extra bases.

Four of the five arrived during a five-run fourth inning when Jacob Barfield belted a two-run homer to one of Maguire’s deepest parts of the park along with doubles by Nathan Carter and Conner Wong and a Kamren Dukes triple.

Faltesek struck out 11 of the 16 batters he faced, including Sam Rayburn’s opening four hitters. Keeping him from a perfect game was a one-out walk to Felipe Buendia in the third.

His outing was so strong that Pearland didn’t need a third baseman or the entire outfield. That’s because those four positions never touched the baseball once. He did need Wong his shortstop, who was 3-for-3 in putouts. He may have saved the no-hitter in Rayburn’s final at-bat when a ground ball appeared headed up the middle, but Wong ranged well to his left, scooped up the ball and got the runner fairly easily.

“He (Faltesek) had a good night, he really did. He’s young. He’s got a lot of life on his ball, a little velocity. He’s good when he throws strikes,” Pearland head coach Anthony Scalise said. “He’s had a couple of outings where he’s been all over the place. It was a good night for him. It got some confidence in him. Our thing with him is we tell him to pound the zone and he did that well tonight.”

Scalise said Faltesek relied on a steady diet of fastball, curveball with not more than two change-ups the entire night.

As for that offense, the lower end of Pearland’s lineup was ripe with basehits. The sixth through nine-hole hitters went 6-for-8 with seven runs scored plus two run-scoring sacrifice flies.

Faltesek had the only runs he would need when five of the opening seven batters tallied singles off starting and losing pitcher Nino Tovar. Skyler Valentine, Barfield and Jake Crain singled in the first, creating one score, before Seth Mikeska and Carter opened the second with singles.

Mikeska came in on a Ryan Diaz sac fly and Carter scored on a passed ball. Valentine made it 4-0 with the inning’s second run-scoring sacrifice fly.

Then in the fourth, a Wong two-RBI double chased Tovar from the hill, upping the lead to 7-0, before Barfield’s two-run blast greeted the knuckleball-throwing Marcos Ortiz.

Barfield launched a pitch over the left-center field fence, a hit that traveled an estimated 375 feet, scoring Wong, who was on third for the roundtripper.
